I don't think she's a box office draw anymore, if she ever was. I can't think of one film she's done that's been a big financial success, like summer blockbuster success. So her choices in films probably have a lot to do with it.

Australia looked interesting when I saw the trailer, in spite of the fact that it was a Nicole Kidman movie. But if I had actually considered seeing it, I would have changed my mind when I looked it up and found it was a three hour long Baz Luhrmann movie. Forget it.

Who wants to sit through a three hour movie in November, right as the holiday rush starts?

Well, there was Moulin Rouge, Batman Forever, The Hours, and Happy Feet. But nothing where she was a the only star, like Bewitched.

Errr . . . fans of The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter beg to differ. :laugh:

It is open season on Nicole Kidman and sales of buckshot have gone through the roof.

Pursued by the paparazzi, crucified by movie critics, the artist formerly known as "Nicole", "La Kidman" or "Our Nic" has become a tin duck in pop culture's shooting gallery.

She can't act. Pow! She can't justify her enormous pay packet. Blammo! Her forehead hasn't moved since Bill Clinton was in the White House. Ker-thwack!
